1. Globalization The way in which people, things and ideas travel. Differ-
ences have not been reduced, but reproduced in different
ways.
2. Politics of Travel- 1. Anthropology itself is the product of traveling. (i.e. Crystal
ing (6 parts) Palace, Colonialism)
2. Relation between "who can and cannot travel" and "who
studies whom." (Ex. Malinowski, Cannibal Tours, American
Front Porch)
3. Mobility itself is a question of power.
4. Cultures are on the move.
5. Anthropologists have studied culture as a 'process' and
tried to capture culture "in action" (socialization, embodi-
ment, etc).
6. We are able to study cultures through various global
projects and processes (i.e. food).
3. Silk Road Trading route originating in Ancient China; carried luxury
goods (i.e. silk, spices, sugar), ideas (i.e. merchants spread
Buddhist beliefs), and people.
4. Opium War China was 'not impressed' with British leaves, and thus tea
was replaced with opium. Since opium was also not wanted
this led to war; resulted in China opening up to idea of free
trade.
5. Free Trade • Unrestrained trade under and after colonialism. •Traded
luxury goods to everyday commodities.
• Transformed the idea of taste and produced a national
culture.
• Irreversible changes on producer nations. •Lead to expan-
sion of markets.
6. Global Cities Examples: London, New York, Tokyo
7. Fordism Produc- • Production occurred in the early 1920-1970s.
tion (3 parts) • Mass production in the form of assembly lines were at a
few key sites (i.e. Detroit).
• Lead to organized labor (labor unions, movements).
